Beckmann Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share #32 Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) Don't wory, I wont get ahead of you. Your careful step be step instruction and the laser cut kits makes it so easy. I rather wait on chapter 2 than making mistakes. Edited August 30, 2019 by Beckmann FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Posted August 30, 2019 Share #33 Posted August 30, 2019 I should have chapter two done in a few weeks. I may not be completed with the planking but I can describe the process. Once hull is planked its the end of chapter two..... Chapter 3 will be the framing and completion of the stern transom and quarter galleries. This is where the fun really starts!!!

Beckmann Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share #37 Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I glued the bulkheads into position. That was the easy part. Then I startet sanding the bulkheads, that appears to be the challenging part. I am not totally happy with the result so far, I need to go over it again. One or two bulkheads jump a little bit back behind the line of the others. I have to see, wether I glue something in the gap or sand the others down.

Chuck Posted September 8, 2019 Share #38 Posted September 8, 2019 something is off on all of those bulokheads. The bulkheads should sit lower and right on the rabbet line. Yours look like they are about 1/8" too high. That will be a problem. Its probably throwing off your fairing too. have a look here.

Beckmann Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #39 Posted September 9, 2019 Ok that seems to be a severe Problem. I will check out what happened and then try to correct it. Maybe I cut the bulkheads too much on the line + sanding, they became too small, in this case I will add a new bulkhead-half and glue it next to each bulkhead to correct the shape.

Chuck Posted September 9, 2019 Share #40 Posted September 9, 2019 That would work but you might be able to just shim the bottoms. I would just print out the bulkheads and test them to see if it is the bulkheads or the bulkhead former. If it’s the false keel it would be more ch easier.

Beckmann Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share #41 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I printed the bulkheads again and tried to find out, what happened. There are two or three things that sum up. The biggest is my inaccuracy, when I cleaned up the bulkheads after cutting them out. I often sanded the tips of the bulkheads too much. That is 90% of the problem. The rest is about having not pushed it down into position enough.

Chuck Posted September 9, 2019 Share #43 Posted September 9, 2019 I think you could just glue some 1/4" wide strips to the bottom of each bulkhead and fair them in. I dont know how thick but I am sure you can figure that out easily enough. Then print out the bulkheads and hold them in position so you can mark the new corrected shape on the side if the strip. Then fair to your new line carefully and slowly.... The trick here is to go slow and check the shape as you go. It will be fine.

Beckmann Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share #48 Posted September 11, 2019 Today I did some sanding I think it looks a bit better now. I fixed most of the bulkhead-tips. I had to cut loose one bulkhead and center it properly. So for folk, who glue the bulkheads: Mark the center on top of the bulkheads so you can check better if it is really accurate centered. Otherwise the outer line of bulkheads dance in and out. Every Millimeter out of the center will cause problems if you now what I mean GrandpaPhil, Rustyj, JpR62 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckmann Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share #55 Posted September 19, 2019 I have still another model (LEON / A. Underhill) wich is waiting to being rigged. But whenever I have to decide, whether to do the rigging of LEON, or to proceed with HMS Winchelsea, the latter ALWAYS wins. But luckily there is still a lot to do in chapter one, and all the planks have to be cut… So I will be fine for the next weeks. And if I really catch up to you, LEON will be lucky to get her main mast or something else. Matthias FrankWouts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beckmann Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share #56 Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) I made some progress with the gunport frames. They are all done now and faired flush with the bulkheads. Next thing will be the stern. Looking forward to that.

Beckmann Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share #57 Posted October 14, 2019 The last days I started building the stern. I found it quite challenging to get it all in the right place. It is good, that there are several laser cut pieces, so you can take a new one, if one is sanded down too much.

Chuck Posted October 14, 2019 Share #58 Posted October 14, 2019 Very nice work....That looks very good and the spacers worked as they should. You should however have sanded the tops of the transom pieces before you glued them in. That will be difficult to do now but not impossible. You should use the 3/64" thick transom (clamp it in position) so you can trace the shape of the transom top and sand them to match.

Beckmann Posted October 15, 2019 Author Share #59 Posted October 15, 2019 Okay, thanks for the tip, if the window openings become too high, I will cut the transom pieces out and glue them in a little bit higher, that should work.

Beckmann Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share #60 Posted October 16, 2019 I corrected the middle transom piece and then I started sanding the stern. I am not shure about, how to form it properly. Do I sand it down to 3/32" from the outside? Or just at the top from the inside? At the moment it is still about 4 mm thick at the top. That is about 5/32" I think.
